Last week I was a presentee at the 8th annual "Unsung Heroes of the American West" event, presented by SPD ( spdnews) It was really fun, and I felt so honored to be one of the five photographers selected as a California-based photographer who influences people via social media. Lawrence Azerrad, an Art Director and former instructor of mine at Art Center (around 10 years ago- yikes!), presented me, and Charlie Hess, a friend and one of my favorite clients, was the MC. Thanks to Charlie for throwing such a fun party! Please check out this link for some more details about the event as well as slideshows from my fellow ( and amazing) presentees!
